GIS Lab Uses KML for Public Mapping
The Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Lab uses KML to enable public access to locations and driving directions. Using an easy-to-use interface that the public is likely already familiar with and requiring no downloads or plug-in, these locations may easily be displayed and driving directions obtained.

Further Example
Following a disaster, these maps may be used to identify locations of open shelters, points of distribution, or disaster recovery centers. This screen-shot provides an example map providing locations and driving directions to a disaster recovery center for tornado victims.
